DC-2307 – Double Sided Flatback Paper Tape

DC-2307 Double Sided Flatback Paper Tape is a high-performance double coated paper tape engineered for golf grip installation, industrial bonding, laminating, splicing, mounting, and assembly applications. Built with a flatback paper carrier, solvent-based natural rubber adhesive, and a white siliconized crepe paper release liner, it delivers strong initial tack, excellent shear strength, and dependable performance on a wide range of substrates.

This double sided flatback paper tape is designed for buyers who need secure holding power, clean handling, and reliable contact on flat, curved, or slightly irregular surfaces. It is especially useful for golf club grip replacement, core start-ups, die-cut hold-down work, and general industrial joining applications.

Key Features of DC-2307 Double Sided Flatback Paper Tape

• Double coated flatback paper construction supports strong bonding on both sides.
• Solvent-based natural rubber adhesive provides aggressive tack and high shear strength.
• White siliconized crepe paper liner allows clean handling and controlled application.
• 7 mil tape thickness supports a thin, secure bond line without excess bulk.
• Excellent adhesion makes it suitable for high-stress bonding and hold-down tasks.
• Conformable paper carrier works well around golf shafts, curves, and uneven surfaces.

Typical Applications

• Golf club grip installation and re-gripping
• Core start-ups
• Industrial splicing
• Holding, joining, and attaching
• Mounting and laminating
• Die-cutting hold-down applications
• Flat surface bonding
• Production assembly and converting

Why Choose DC-2307?

DC-2307 is built for applications that need more holding power than light-duty double sided tape can provide. Its natural rubber adhesive delivers fast surface contact, while the flatback paper carrier adds handling strength and conformability. This combination helps users improve grip retention, splicing reliability, laminating performance, and production stability.

Compared with film or foam tape, this double coated paper tape offers a practical balance of strength, flexibility, and thin bond-line performance. It is a strong choice when the surface is not perfectly smooth, when wrapping is required, or when shear resistance matters during use.

Best Uses for Golf Grip Installation

DC-2307 is a strong choice for first-time golf grip installation and re-gripping. The conformable paper carrier wraps smoothly around club shafts, while the natural rubber adhesive helps secure the grip after installation. It is compatible with solvent-based grip installation fluids such as mineral spirits, naphtha, gasoline-based grip solvents, and other approved installation fluids.

Golf shops, repair technicians, club builders, and sporting goods operations use this tape when they need consistent shaft coverage, dependable grip retention, and efficient installation performance.

Industrial Bonding and Converting Uses

This double coated flatback paper tape also performs well in manufacturing, converting, packaging, fabrication, and assembly environments. Its high shear adhesive makes it useful for holding materials in place during die-cutting, joining parts during assembly, and supporting clean splices during production work.

• Use for splicing when a secure bond must resist movement.
• Use for laminating when a thin adhesive layer is required.
• Use for mounting when fast tack and clean handling matter.
• Use for die-cut hold-down when materials must stay stable during processing.

Double Coated Tape Selection Guide

Tape Type	Best For	When to Choose DC-2307 Instead
Tissue Tape	Very thin bonding on smooth surfaces	Choose DC-2307 when stronger handling and better shaft wrapping are needed.
Film Tape	Dimensional precision and smooth surface bonding	Choose DC-2307 when the surface is curved, wrapped, or slightly irregular.
Foam Tape	Gap filling, cushioning, and vibration damping	Choose DC-2307 when a thin bond line and strong shear hold are more important.
Transfer Tape	Unsupported adhesive bonding	Choose DC-2307 when a paper carrier improves handling and placement.

Surface Compatibility and Application Tips

DC-2307 bonds well to many common substrates when applied with firm pressure to a clean, dry surface. Surface condition, pressure, temperature, texture, and material type can all affect final bond strength.

• Clean dust, oil, and loose residue before application.
• Apply firm, even pressure across the full tape surface.
• Keep the liner in place until the second surface is ready to bond.
• Avoid stretching the tape during wrapped applications.
• Test on low surface energy plastics or coated materials before production use.

When to Choose DC-2307

Choose DC-2307 when the application requires aggressive adhesion, strong quick stick, paper carrier conformability, and high shear holding power. It is a practical option for golf grip installation, production splicing, industrial mounting, laminating, and temporary hold-down work.

Consider a different tape construction when the job requires clear bonding, large gap filling, long-term outdoor UV resistance, structural mounting, or heavy cushioning. In those cases, a film, foam, acrylic, or specialty transfer tape may be a better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DC-2307 Double Sided Flatback Paper Tape used for?

DC-2307 is used for golf grip installation, re-gripping, industrial splicing, core start-ups, mounting, joining, laminating, and die-cutting hold-down applications.

Is DC-2307 a good golf grip tape?

Yes. DC-2307 is well suited for golf club grip installation because it wraps smoothly around shafts, works with common solvent-based grip fluids, and provides strong adhesive hold after installation.

What adhesive does DC-2307 use?

DC-2307 uses a solvent-based natural rubber pressure-sensitive adhesive designed for aggressive tack, good quick stick, and high shear performance.

How thick is DC-2307?

The tape is 7 mil thick without the liner and approximately 12 mil thick with the white siliconized crepe paper release liner.

What temperature can DC-2307 withstand?

DC-2307 has a listed temperature resistance of 200°F, making it suitable for many indoor industrial bonding, assembly, and converting applications.
